Around the US in 9 days

NOTHING keeps the_traveler off the rails!

Darn, my nefarious attempts to ruin your trip have failed to faze you. I shall try harder next time!

 

[jimhudson]

I agree with Chris, I'll use my Connections also to see if I can foil your Evil Plan to ride LD Trains all over the US Without Paying! :giggle:

Glad you finally made it your "Temporary Home" in RI so you could Relocate Chez traveler before heading out on Anothr "Short Trip" on Amtrak! You and I both seem to have Bad Karma when it comes to the Cardinal and Chicago!

 

[Amtrak Cajun]

Wow Dave, that dining car crew was just bad!

Glad you made it home safely though, despite all of the delays.

I know what we can do to foil his next trip, wrap the train in foil to the point that they cant hookup the penthouse mwahahahahahaha. h34r:

I enjoyed your reports very much. I too am a Traveler. In just four weeks I will travel from Williams, AZ to New York and back from Washington. Too bad your service was so bad on the Capitol. When I rode #30 at the beginning of November, the first train in four days after the hurricane, I had great service in the diner and a superb SCA.

You and I both seem to have Bad Karma when it comes to the Cardinal and Chicago!

In that case I hope neither of you will be on the Cardinal on your way to the gathering as I will be.

As always, I enjoyed reading about the adventures/misadventures of the_traveler.

Dave,

I want to say that your experience with #30 mirrors mine on April 1/2. Oddly, WB service isn't that bad.

Dave,I want to say that your experience with #30 mirrors mine on April 1/2. Oddly, WB service isn't that bad.

Of course. #29 only serves dinner and breakfast, but not lunch. Hence #29 has a 1 of 2 (50%) chance, while #39 has a 1 of 3 (33%) chance! :giggle:

 

[Acela150]

Sounds like you had a bit of a wild trip Dave! Glad your Red Cap at BOS remembered you! Although us AUer's make a first time impression. You'll never forget us!

 

[Railroad Bill]

Enjoyed reading about the trip Dave

Sorry the Capitol Ltd service was so poor. It amazes me how a crew can be this bad and still be employed :help: .

After spending some time with an Amtrak official on last year's California Zephyr and this year's Auto Train, I know they are trying to weed out these bad experiences. They must be reported to Amtrak and an investigation may ensue.

Get rested up Dave and prepared for the next adventure

That ends the trip that took 9 days almost to the minute to go from coat to coast to coast. My only question is when the next trip will be. NOTHING keeps the_traveler off the rails!

Wow ! What a neat trip! Great Trip Report!

Almost makes me feel like I was there! Opps, I was for part of it!

Why so "Short" a Trip, you must be getting Old! :giggle:

Well, this certain old fogie was with me for a portion, so I didn't want to make it too hard on him!
